Hydrological System Modeling and Water Resources System -Aiming to Develop Innovative Technological Systems for Predicting, Preserving and Utilizing Water Resources, Based on Consideration of Dynamic Interactions among Climate, Hydrological Cycle and Huma

Research Supervisor

Katumi Musiake

Outline

In this research, the aim is to elucidate the processes associated with the circulation of water in the atmosphere, in the oceans and in continental areas on a global or regional scale and to construct a model of water circulation while considering the effective utilization of water in society. More specifically, in addition to research exploring changes in the distribution of resources associated with climate change and the influence of human activity on the circulation of water, this field also targets the conservation and use of water resources, predictions of the effects on society brought about by changes in the circulation of water, as well as the function of water to maintain, preserve and restore ecological systems.
